    I've just twigged what you meant. "The Oakwood Press book on the M&C states that goods stock was painted ‘lead colour with white lettering’" is open to ambiguity. As you say it could be grey - 'lead coloured' or it could be the colour of the lead paint. I wonder where the info came from and what the context was? Richard
  2. RLWP
    Don't think so. White lead used lead carbonate or lead sulphate as the pigment. Red lead used lead tetroxide as a pigment. So white lead paint was white, red lead paint was red - both were/are poisonous. Both were used as primers Richard
  3. RLWP
    Good question. Popular preservative paint choices at the time would be red lead or white lead. White lead seems to have been used as a sort of undercoat, so red lead for you Red lead is a sort of red oxide colour, or bauxite if you prefer I'd use red primer from Halfords and challenge people to prove you wrong Richard

    That's amazing! Richard

    Probably scrapped. Isn't that what happened to much of Flying Scotsman's US train? Richard

    A little more: Richard

    I'm on it... Some clues here perhaps? http://www.railroadmichigan.com/boynecity.html That has to be one of the strangest places to find BR crimson carriages! Richard

    She has that rugged look of an RSH tank No idea how she ended up on the Boyne Valley Railroad in the 1970s yet though. She wouldn't have been that old either, being built in 1952 Richard

    And totally inauthentic This has more: http://steamlocomotive.com/lists/searchdb.php?builder=Robert+Stephenson+%26+Hawthorne&country=USA Richard

    There is another picture here: https://www.lagrangemainstreet.org/trains--tracks.html Richard

    On that website, there's a nice modelling challenge in this image: Fishscale patterning on the tender, done with an oily rag. It's not unusual to find on images of 19th century locos Richard

    I guess modelling the whole of Carlisle Citadel would get a bit out of hand. Lots of lovely liveries though Richard

    Abebooks seem to have three different books that include M&C in the title: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/the-maryport-carlisle-railway/ The Crampton is from 1854, no idea when it went out of service. I've liked that loco ever since seeing a picture in my Pictorial Encyclopedia of Railways as a kid Richard

    Will you have a Tulk and Ley Crampton?: https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Tulk_and_Ley That's a Dundee and Perth loco, I think M&C number 12 was similar Richard
  18. RLWP
    And it gives me a choice - perfect! Thank you Richard

    Is there a way I can turn off seeing other users signatures? There are some here that soak up a huge amount of screen space on my PC, especially that 'tiger' video one Richard

    At various times during the week I will access NGRM using my phone and my PC Richard
  21. RLWP
    Very, very dangerous. It's likely to lead you astray, stimulate your imagination and encourage you to spend even more time modelling Watch out for Igor, and never, ever 'lend him a hand' Richard
  22. RLWP
    Thank you Balancing one on it's corner would be interesting... Richard

    Silly question. Can the 8" x 8" cake box be stood on its side? Richard
  24. RLWP
    The LNWRS have 31 assorted books relating to railway management in their online archive: http://www.lnwrs.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1299 Richard

    You're not trying hard enough. There's a guard iron missing, and one of the cab handrails Ahh well, it's unlikely that's going to happen. Richard
